In a major vaccination drive over the weekend, a local hospital in Chembur — Surana Sethia Hospital and Research Centre — is all set to offer doorstep vaccines to a number of housing societies in the area. A total of 8,000 beneficiaries have been listed for the drive, which will eventually be extended to smaller housing societies.

Speaking to mid-day, Dr Prince Surana, CEO of Surana Group of Hospitals, said, “Over the coming weekend, we are conducting doorstep vaccinations at 15 housing societies. These are the bigger housing societies in Chembur with an approximate population of 8,000.” He added that the drive would be extended to the smaller housing societies the following week.
